Pressed Or Simply Cautious?
By Kleinheider Posted on August 6, 2008 at 12:17 pmTurner McCullough editorializes on the recent negative campaigning by Senator Rosalind Kurita against her primary opponent Tim Barnes:
Financial reporting records show Kurita had a substantial war chest with which to wage her re-election bid. The good senator is reported to have retained the services of Fletcher and Rowley, the renown Nashville public relations firm, known for negative advertising. Nashville media political pundits have speculated whether she was feeling stressed enough to releash the hounds at Flecther as the campaign draws to an end. Judging by the caliber of her recent campaign mailings, it would seem that she has decided time has come to get down and dirty with this campaign. How else would you explain mailings criticizing an attorney for providing constitutionally guaranteed legal counsel to those who need it?
